Call for 2019 Goodpush partners – Apply now!

We are excited to announce the 2019 call for Goodpush Alliance partners! If you’re involved in a project using skateboarding for social change and you want to take things to the next level, we want to hear from you. Deadline to apply is 15 April!

This year we’ll be choosing three partners to get tailored support from the Skateistan team. We will provide selected partners with:

Support calls / emails for their programming and organisational development challenges

A $500 cash award to put towards their programmes

Safety gear for skate programming

Funding to attend the first Goodpush conference, hosted by Skateistan South Africa in October 2019 (including flights and accommodation for one person)

Some of the key areas that we will provide support on:

Child protection and safety

Inclusion of girls and children with disabilities

Connecting skateboarding with education

Monitoring, evaluation and reporting to donors

We are looking for very motivated partners who are excited not just about learning, but also sharing their own innovative ideas and activities with other members of the Goodpush Alliance. Whether you’re in the early stages of your skate project or already well-advanced, we welcome you to apply!

About Goodpush

The Goodpush Alliance is an initiative by Skateistan to support and share knowledge among social skateboarding projects worldwide, so that we can make a bigger impact together.

Globally, there are now more than 100 skateboarding for youth development projects working in 50+ countries. Goodpush is a way for these projects to share knowledge and collaborate.

During Goodpush's pilot phase in 2018 we provided six months of tailored consulting, on-the-ground workshops, and cash awards to three partners: Make Life Skate Life (global), 7Hills (Jordan), and SkateQilya (Palestine).

How to apply

Download and fill out our two-page Goodpush Application Form, then email it to goodpush(at)skateistan.org with the subject line “2019 Partner Application”. The deadline to send in your application is 15 April 2019.

Projects led by minorities or those who are otherwise marginalized are encouraged to apply, such as people with disabilities, people of color, members of queer communities, trans people, women, and people from low or lower-middle income countries.
